Our players left everything on the field. When they came off the field, they were spent. I was watching them come through the tunnel going to the locker room.

I think Bobby will address some things, certainly in terms of looking at weaknesses and how to strengthen those weaknesses. But I think he has to be pleased with the last two games in terms of unity and preparation and playing football like Florida State should play football. I thought we did that in a big win and in a heartbreaking loss.
It was a roller-coaster ride in terms of starting out 5-0 and then struggling at the end, but then regaining focus and composure in the last two games. It's a shame this one goes down in the loss column. But if you look at the effort and the focus in the Virginia Tech game and last night, certainly it was dramatically different than what we saw during the three-game losing streak.
